Have you ever gone for a walk in the evening and noticed a home that has its windows uncovered and the indoor lights on. Surely it's not a great idea to have the inside of your home on full display for the world to see, right?
With that in mind, let’s talk about privacy.
Looking to improve your home's privacy?
If the thought of perfect strangers being able to peer into your home willy nilly makes you uncomfortable, you’re not alone. Let’s talk about some of our favourite window privacy ideas. And yes, before you ask, shutters will come into the equation.
Our top 3 window privacy ideas
Things like curtains and blinds aren’t ideal because you don’t have as much control over the airflow or light, so you’ll either have to have them fully opened or fully closed. This leaves you with options such as shutters, window films, or getting tinted or frosted window glass. One of these options stands head and shoulders above the others.
1. Add some greenery
Upgrading your window privacy shouldn't mean a massive project. It can be as simple as buying a few plants and placing them on your windowsill. Not only will this obstruct the view for people outside, but it'll also purefy the air and bring a touch of nature to your home.
Some of our favourites are snake plants, peace lilies, and swish cheese plants. They're low-maintenance, pleasing to the eye, and they'll last for years to come with the proper care. Just be sure to go with plants that will fit on your windowsill!
2. Add tinted window glass
Tinting your home’s windows is another option, but it’s not the most ideal option. They'll block a lot of the light from the outside, and if you open the window you'll lose the privacy that the tint brings.
Adding a window tint is kind of like putting sunglasses on your windows. Everything will look darker outside, even on a sunny day.

3. Window shutters will improve home privacy
One of the main benefits of shutters is their added privacy. In fact, they're the ideal window covering for anyone who wants more control over their home’s privacy, while still controlling light levels and letting in fresh air.
Window shutters are incredibly versatile, surprisingly affordable, and super durable. You can open the shutter’s slats, open your window, and let in fresh air while still maintaining full privacy and having the inside of your home entirely out of view from passers-by.
When you want to let in the sunlight, you can open the slats a little more or open the entire shutter frame. Then, as the sun sets and you’re ready for privacy again, all you need to do is close the slats.
